Is this bad form?

My Ex DH and I have a separation agreement in place. We have been split up for 3 years almost. I instigated the separation and even though he said the feelings were mutual he has as little to do with me.
He is OK if I chat to him if we see each other. He has a new partner who is very nice and I know of her through friends.
My DS said the marriage certificate was out in his room and was that because he was divorcing me? Well maybe so I am waiting to see whether anything comes in the post now. Do you think if this is the case that he should have said or does he owe me nothing?

How old is your ds? It's just that that's a really odd thing for a child to notice (and also to understand the significance of).

If your ex has deciding to push ahead with the divorce now then what does it matter? I'm sure he'll tell you in his own time when he feels it's appropriate

I think it would be bad form to just let a divorce petition land on your doorstep.
But I don’t think it’s bad form for him to think about divorce and take administrative steps without telling you.
If I were him, I would have solicitor meetings without telling you, and for that I’d get my papers in order first.

No it's certainly not bad form to divorce he may want to re marry. My DS is almost 20. I asked him what he was doing as it was left out in his dad's room so why was he upstairs. He says he was taking his washing up for him.
My DS brought this up and asked me if it was needed to divorce. My ex will not tell me I'm almost sure of it so if it is the case I've had advance warning from my DS.
